Excited to announce the results of a big collaboration. Where are the most important #penguin areas? Where could they benefit from stronger protections?.
New #penguin research further reveals how network of proposed #MarineProtectedAreas #MPAs can support #Antarctic wildlife. 🐧Evidence for decision makers #CCAMLR. Read paper📜 👉🏼#BirdLifeScience

But there was a curious geographic difference. On the south shore, the declines were much worse than on the north shore - 73.2% compared to 20.5%.

Overall, the Chinstrap population declined on Elephant, and the Gentoo population doubled. But it's a little more complicated. The largest colony "Chinstrap Camp" declined by 70%. All together, it was a 57% decline on the island.

Of course since then, the effects of climate change have become much clearer, especially in the polar regions. Elsewhere, we've seen some big declines in Chinstrap populations and Gentoo penguins moving in.

We headed to Elephant Island in Jan. on an expedition with @Greenpeace to survey Chinstrap penguins. In the 70s, a British team had done the same, but the island hasn't been surveyed broadly since.

This year we're taking an expedition to GANtarctica.
Since the field season is cancelled, I decided to make some fake photographs of Antarctica using a GAN on @runwayml .Sometimes they're really good. Sometimes it gets very confused. Follow along on the expedition:

"While nothing beats the experience of being up close and personal with wildlife, satellite imagery gives us an entirely new perspective on Antarctica and a fighting chance to protect the continent's most vulnerable animal populations".
Today for #GeoWeek, we’re highlighting the work of Explorer Dr. Heather Lynch (@thelynchlab). As a quantitative ecologist, she has helped pioneer the use of satellite imagery for studying the presence, abundance and even diet of Antarctic penguins! 🐧

Looking from land, air, and space, the story of Chinstrap #penguins these days is mixed. Some very dramatic declines, fewer increases, and some we're only assessing for the first time. 🐧🛰📉.The short story: we have 3.4 million breeding pairs.
